Be it known that I, OTTO HEINRICH CHRIS- TIAN Voler, residing at Lbeck,in the GermanEmpire, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Label-Holders for Bottles and the Like, of which the following is aspecification.

My present invention relates to a device by means of which labels,tickets, or such likemay be attached to bottles for the purpose of theirexhibition in shop-windows, and the device is so constructed that it canbeeasilyati tached or removed and that the labelv secured on the bottleitself or any other decorative matter on said bottle is not in any waycov ered nor the cork and seal injured.

The device consists, essentially, of two arms suitably bent to carry thelabel or the like and of a ring Whose diameter Vcan be adjusted. Thedevice-maybe constructed of.

Wire or any other suitable material.

In the accompanying drawings, representing my invention, Figure l is aperspectiveA two arms c for supporting the label have the same shape andare formed by bending the ends of the Wire from which the ring d isformed. In order to enable the adjustment of the diameter .of the ringa, so that it may t various-sizes of bottles, are provided theserpentine-shaped bends d, which form a part of the ring a. The diameterof4 thering is A part of the wire is bentinto thef adjusted tov suit theparticular size of bottle by compressing the ring until the desireddiameter is Obtained and then placing the part e into the correspondingbend of the serpentine part d, as shown in Fig. 1.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

1. A label-holder for bottles comprising a ring provided with arms tosupportthe label and bent for a portion of its circumference into a Yserpentine shape adapted to enable theadjust'ment of the diameter of thering, substantiallyas described and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings. Y

2.l Alabel-holdercomprisingasinglestrand of wire formed first into aring, the ends of said wire being then bent upright to form .parallelarms for supportingthe label, a portion of said ringrprovided with anumber of bends whereby the diameter of the ring may be lessened orenlarged for the purpose and substantiallyas described. Y 3. Alabel-*holder for bottles consisting o a single strand ot wirepne end ofwhich being bent to'form a supporting-arm, 'the opposite end being bentupon itself to form short bends for a portion of its length adapted toengage said supporting-arm, and then bent parallelwith the other end ofsaid Wire and forming a second supporting-arm, the whole so constructedand arranged that the diameter of the ring may be varied in order to titbottles of different sizes, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.
